THE
SCIENCE OF NUMEROLOGY
"Introduction
to Numerology"
Numerology
is the study of the symbolism numbers, and the manner
in which they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies.
It is used to determine a person's personality, strengths and
talents, obstacles to be overcome, inner needs, emotional reactions
and ways of dealing with others. Each letter has a numeric value
that provides a related vibration. The sum of the numbers in
your birth date and the sum of value derived from the letters
in the name provide an interrelation of personality traits.
Experts in numerology use the
numbers to determine the best time for major moves and activities
in life. Numerology is used to decide when to invest, when to
marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate.
Many believe the history of numerology
goes back more than 10,000 years. Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician,
who developed many of the basic theorems that form the foundation
of modern mathematics (including the right triangle theorem
taught in math classes today) live from 569-470 B.C. At the
turn of the twentieth century, an American woman, L. Dow
Balliet, and several of her contemporaries published a
few books and started the modern phase of numerology. The field
grew slowly through several decades. Now, in the last half of
the century, increased research and publishing along with a
marked resurgence of interest in numerology is taking place.
